From the publisher
Violet is a young snake who likes to play with the other animals in the forest. But when spring arrives, her friends get very busy making presents for Mother’s Day. Violet is glad everyone’s working so hard, but what can she do for her own mother? Without arms or legs or teeth, she can’t make gifts as the other animals can. Then Violet discovers that there is one thing she can do that’s different–and comes up with the most original gift of all!
